ADM.5:4.3 - Identify the actual decisions and actions

For each consequential branch, name who applies the rule or makes the decision, the conditions used, and what the next participant receives. A direct policy rule may already determine the required response. A case-specific approval remains a decision when the policy requires an authorized person to make it.

Keep the handler’s preparation, a specialist’s judgment, the competent person’s authorization and the provider’s performance distinct. Completing a checklist neither transfers approval authority nor performs payment. ADM.8 resolves a permission question; OPS.5–6 can supply admission or situated continuation when actual handling needs one.

State which independent action may proceed while another condition is pending. An instruction for obtaining a price quote need not inherit the spending authorization required for a later booking unless the applicable rule makes that authorization a condition of the inquiry.
